If I wasn’t free on a night he suggested doing something, he’d “joke” that I was blowing him off to go on dates with other guys. Every time we went out seemed to escalate until our times to “catch up” felt more like an excuse for him to make me feel guilty about not dating him.

Let’s keep it straight guys – don’t waste time in wooing your friend to be ‘just friends’ once again, after you have spent hours together at the beach, trying to explore each other romantically. About 60 percent of the people leave friendship aside after dating.Probably often enough that if you actually stayed friends with all those exes, your #squad would field a baseball team.“Let’s stay friends” has become as much of an empty phrase as “let’s do something again soon! But what happens when you actually want to be friends – is it possible? Before you jump into friendship, ask yourself if you are doing it because you really just want to keep her in your life, or because you hope she’ll change her mind and want to date you? I went out with a guy last winter for a few dates and while we got along very well, it just, well, wasn’t there for me.There are 99 percent chances that she does not mean it. Or maybe it is difficult for her to accept that her best friend is no longer what he used to be. The remark was, “People are ready to bear broken hearts.She is struggling to come to terms with this new development, just as you are. Remember, once you have crossed the boundaries of friendship, do not look back. But they are not ready to become friends after dating.
